Lessons learnt the hard way

[WeeE]

1. If you're too stupid to remember to put the prop-stand back up, at the first slope/bump/teeny pothole/roundabout, the bike will flip over sideways with your legs ingeniously tangled up in the frame - right in the middle of the road.

2. This will happen every single time you forget. Every single time.

3. Get a double-footed stand; it's idiot-proof.

don't ride on icy roads in the dark

avoid horse / cow manure when cycling uphill

Welcome to my normal commute conditions this time of year

My favorite is to make sure your bike is leaning safely against a wall etc before you let go as you can bet 5 seconds later the forks will spin at dump it on the floor.
And make sue your lights have not turned themselves on in the bag so when you get ready to go home they are dead .......
